Let’s talk about ELLA

This princess made her rescuers work hard to catch her when she was found on the streets of Aruba. She was incredibly shy and did not trust humans.
Once she was successfully trapped, she was spayed and brought up to date on medical care. Then it was time for her to come to the US.

Poor girl had a rough flight and was so scared when she arrived in Chicago, but little did she know she was going to be living the good life soon enough.
She was transferred to one of our incredible fosters (who works WONDERS on shy dogs) and you wouldn’t even recognize Ella today!

She has come out of her shell completely and enjoys cuddling and spending time with her foster family. Their resident dog and Ella are best friends and she doesn’t mind the cats either!

Ella LOVES food time and often does a happy dance while waiting. She would be great with kids, other dogs and cats in her forever home, but wouldn’t mind being on her own either!
She’s not a high energy pup, she prefers lounging on the couch and hanging out inside. But don’t miss out on her zoomies!

The update everybody has been waiting for…

Monkey made it! I about cried when I saw her. We had been so worried about this sweet girl for weeks before she was finally found and we made a plan to get her here. My heart is full!!

I want to thank each and every person who helped coordinate, transported her, worked with her and were in involved in general.
Berkley Cameron, Cassie Beck Murvay and Michele Tenerelli from One Love Foundation Inc. and Locks4paws worked around the clock trying to find a flight volunteer and get everything in order for her to be able to fly.
Alyonka De, who selflessly flew with Monkey from Aruba to Columbus, OH (where Berkley met with her). Jacqueline Boderie and Crijojo Trappers Aruba for getting her spayed (Animal Welfare Alliance Aruba) and recognizing that she is the dog we had been looking for! Cherie Hudson was the amazing woman who was caring for Monkey and helped her heal, and also fostered her until we could get her a flight!
A huge thank you to Pascale, who worked tirelessly searching for Monkey and playing a huge part in getting her vetted and prepped to fly.
And thank you to EVERYBODY else involved in any way, including those who covered her vet bills, flights, and more. We are so grateful to you and to have Monkey here finally!

Rescue never stops 🐾

MONKEY NEEDS HELP!

I’m sure you all remember the posts about Monkey. Well, we still need some help with her bills.

We are expecting to pay $400 for her vet appointment tomorrow to vaccinate her, run blood work and get a health certificate to fly to the US. We also need to raise money for her flights, which comes out to about $300 for the two flights she needs to get to Chicago.

If you can help in ANY way, we are officially begging! This sweet girl needs to get home to rest and finally feel loved.

Any amount helps. Ways to give:

SQUIRREL 🐿️

Squirrel is a dapper 6 month old kitten who flew all the way from Aruba to find his forever home! His previous adopters backed out so this guy needs a foster or forever soon.

Squirrel loves head pets, comfy blankets and food the most! He’s not a fan of being pet anywhere but on his head. And fun fact- he was born without a tail!
He does well with other laid-back cats or kittens and warms up to new people relatively quickly. He loves to curl up next to his person in bed or on the couch.

If you’re interested in fostering or adopting Squirrel, please head over to hopefarmsandsanctuary.org to fill out an application!

MONKEY NEEDS A TRANSPORTER AND FOSTER!

Sweet Aruba pup, Monkey, who we found and helped out back in December, is coming to the States!

Her story: We were in Aruba for a week back in December to help the foundations and trappers on the island. We went out one day to Rum Reef on Baby Beach for lunch and to try to hang out in the water for a bit. But of course, we couldn’t resist hopping out when we saw a little dog trying to follow everybody around.
We called her over to us, and upon closer inspection, this girl was not in good shape. Covered in ticks, puncture wounds in her abdomen, bloody and covered in dirt. So, we did what we could. We gave her Nexguard, removed the largest (and probably most painful) ticks, cleaned her wounds, and just loved on her before we had to, unfortunately, leave her at the beach. All of the organizations are completely full and don’t have the space or resources to take more animals.
But that didn’t stop us. Over the next few weeks, we asked for help finding a foster, somebody to care for her until we could get her spayed, vetted, and fly her to the US.
It didn’t go as planned. For weeks, nobody could find her. We hoped for the best but expected the worst.
But… two days ago we got amazing news! Somebody had found her and had been caring for her! This amazing person tended to her wounds, fed her and kept her safe. And has agreed to foster her until she flies to the US. Now, spayed and vetted, she’s ready.

We are hoping to fly her in on 1/24, to Columbus, Ohio. We need somebody who is willing to pick her up from the airport and transport her to Chicago, or at least part of the way. This will be a team effort.

We are ALSO looking for a foster for Monkey! She is an amazing dog, about 6-7 months old, loves everybody and everything, and would do great in a home with other animals. If you or somebody you know are interested, please reach out!

As usual, we always need help with supplies. We always need food, blankets, dishes, collars and harnesses, etc. These can be shipped directly to us or dropped off!
If you want to help but can’t get supplies- here are other ways to give, which helps with flight costs, additional vetting, and supplies:

🌷 EVA 🌷

Young horses are often found in auctions, after being born the “wrong” color, or because they don’t look quite how the backyard breeder wanted. Babies in auction? It never ends well. Especially when they’re in rough shape.

So when I get the opportunity, of course I’m going to pull the one that needs it most ❤️ Instead of being stuffed into a cold trailer headed for slaughter, sweet baby Eva got onto a trailer headed to a warm barn for the holidays.

Although I am absolutely ecstatic that I was able to help Eva, this has unfortunately completely depleted our rescue funds. Which we desperately need to keep all of the animals here healthy and happy, and up to date on vet care.

So PLEASE, if you have anything to spare this holiday season, consider donating to help Eva and others get the care they need.

Meet Javy!

He and his siblings were found dumped in a box as puppies in Aruba. The amazing people at Luna Foundation rescued Javy and his siblings and got them the care they needed. Once he was healthy, he caught a plane to Illinois.

Javy is an incredibly loyal, intelligent, and obedient dog. He has been professionally trained and it shows. He would do best in a home without children, with another dog, or with very active parents. He takes a while to warm up to those he doesn’t know, but once in his inner circle he’s a fantastic dog. At day-care and boarding Javy is very social with the other dogs and all of the trainers, so we are confident in his ability to bond with others. He deserves a loving home that can be patient as he learns how to cope. His foster or new family need to recognize that even after years of being around people and training, he still chooses to have his own space. He is not cuddly, and will always choose his own spot on the far end of the couch. In the rare occasion he wants to be pet it should be on his terms, I regularly remind guests not to approach javy, as he get obviously uncomfortable. The flip side of that is Javy’s amazing ability to be independent. He’s never once had an accident in the house or chewed anything. He has none of the undesirable unhygienic dog tendencies, and is incredibly clean. There is no better feeling than walking in after a long day to Javy bringing you his favorite toy.

Now, he is 3 years old and is looking for his forever home. He is currently in Chicago.

If you’re interested in fostering or adopting Javy, reach out!
